History of Hacklabs & Hackerspaces

Resumen:

Evaluating the historical experience of
hacklabs & hackerspaces from a political-strategic
perspective. Hacklabs are traditionally part of
anarchist projects like squats and autonomous
spaces, or at least seen by participants as part of
the wider popular movement for radical social
change. They became part of every major occupation
since the 1990s but their number is stagnating if
not falling lately. On the other hand the
hackerspaces as a movement started much later like
the 2000s and started to proliferate like mushrooms
in the recent years. They are more clearly focused
on technology and innovation with diverse political
backgrounds from mostly capitalist to the rare
revolutionary. We have to recuperate the history of
hacklabs and use it to radicalise this new
generation of hackers. At the same time we also
have to learn from the new generation and find out
how these hackers could escape the ghetto of radical
politics, grow exponentially and forge social
connections with widely different social groups.
